There are two phases to a movie. First you shoot the movie, and then you make the movie. Generally, post-production is longer than filming.

I go through a whole process with the actors first, building and creating characters, then I encourage them to sort of live in that character when they're in the screen.

We do nods to Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible because they are popular with our fan base.

I prefer the smaller budget versus the bigger budget because the mentality that goes along with big budget filmmaking doesn't really suit me; the mind-set that money is the answer.

Creativity is the answer. I always prefer the creative solution to an expensive solution.

I'm just calm under fire. I'm not intimidating at all.

Comedy has a responsibility to be a voice of society, so within that, there's always going to be those that talk about those subjects and things that are going on in the world.

I put heavy emphasis on the characters.

You never really know until you put the movie in front of an audience. I am a big advocate of screenings, which are getting harder and harder to do nowadays.

We felt like we had done as much as you can do with the slasher genre. We were trying to find the next group of scary movies that were ripe for parody.

I'm looking into my past lives. I'm convinced some of them still owe me money.

I hope you defy the odds of most dreams and actually accomplish yours

It was so odd what brought out tenderness in people. It was never what you have expected.

The day Blink-182 announced their hiatus, I felt as if a part of me died.

MINISTER, n. An agent of a higher power with a lower responsibility. In diplomacy, an officer sent into a foreign country as the visible embodiment of his sovereign's hostility.

I just want to live like a full-time tourist, to show up at the airport, pick a destination, walk up to the counter and say, 'Do you have any first-class seats?'

We're all better off...when we're all better off.

All punishment is mischief; all punishment in itself is evil.

To understand any living thing, you must, so to say, creep within and feel the beating of its heart.
